The foundation of all happiness Is
health. A man with an imperfect diges-

disorders arising from imperfect digestion

Purgative Pellets are the safest and surest
remedy for these morbid conditions. Being

The Governor stated that there was no
question of putting Il slight on the plant
.ers. 1t was not intended thar the Build.
ing Inspector should advise about Ordi-
nary road making. but only about the
building of bridges, which engineers re-
garded .as a ve.y difficult woik. At the
same time the Government had no inten.
ton of forcing such technical assistance on
the planters, and if the Council wished it
he would withdraw the proposal.
Finally the proposal was Withdrawn by
the Government without a division.
A question of some Importance to the
colon, was incidentally raised during MOI
days discussion on the Budget. 1t was
when thu military expenses came up for
considerations. Member Mcdonald remark
ell, tina we had several tim y been told
that it was likely tina he Mother Country
would lake over thp military expenses,
but that it did not appear that anything
hal been definitely settled on this point,
and he would like to know how the colony
stood 40 to responsibility. Would a change
of Ministry in Copenhagen. for instance,
involve the possibility Of Oui being called
on to pay these amounts. which were accu
mularing from year TO yrarH The honour
able member then went on t. complain OF
the DOAitl0n Of the Councils members, who
in reality were not allowed to VOTE on
many of the items Of the Budget. In
fact, he thought, tina it would be h.tlr'
that there were no Colonial Council, aud
that the whole responsibility and duty of
government should rest on the Home
Government.
Several members said "Hear! Hearp one
said ~ think so also", and the Chairman said
that if the honorable member would bring
in a draft If ordinance for abOliShing the
Colonial Council h. would go with him,
although the subject could not then be dis,
cuSSed.
HIS ErceIlency the GOUernOr pointed out
that the change could only be made by a
law passed in Copenhagen.
The Chdtl man admitted he ha4 made u
mistake, and said that the correct method
was TO move that u petition be preSenSed

On this little fare up there is no necesSi
ty to make any lengthy remarks at pre-
sent. 1t is perhaps agreeable t." he rid of
responsibility, but it does not follow that
VT thereby avoid burdens and Wa strong,
" u ,pect that many people who would
now like to SIZE the Colonial Council abOl.
ished, would by and Ivy speak with reg "t
of the good old days, when they had a
chance Of influencing thu Government to
some extent at least through that same

medal will pear on one side the name of the

The Consul General of Colombia in Lima
again informs his government that Brazilian
slave traders continue to capture Colombian
In lians and to sell them as slaves in Brazil.
The chief mover in this slave trade is q Bra
lillian or Portuguese, and his ~manhunting
grounds are along the borders of the ,Putuma-
20 and Napo rivers. 1t is stated that this
pirate owns a steam launch, that he flies the
Brazilian flag over it, and that wherever he
goes he carries off people whom he subse.
quently sells to Brazilian slave dealers.
There seems to be little doubt that Chole-
"a is heavily on the increase in Chile. 1t is
interrupting steamer traffic, and thus few
letters reach this port from where the disease
is bearing heaviest. In Peru the approach
of the disease is watched with the greatest
suspicion. The people, under intensely try
ing circumstances, appear to recognize the
necessity of closing out vessels coming from
the South, although at the same time they
know that trade will stagnate, and the little
work there is at present will close down,
whilst the means of life will become dearer
even than they are at present.

one item of All amendment brought
in by the Government on the same day,
namely $50 as . grant to George Emanuel

penses of his being trained III the
Mico Training Institution in Antigua,
of which $50 to assist him in entering and
$50 as the first years fee 10 the 1nstltu-
ton. It was explained in the remarks
that a further grant of $50 would be asked
for in each of the two following years, to
cover the annual fees for the course of
instruction.
There was little opposition to this grant.
One honorable member suggested thar
we could employ teachers already trained
in the Mico Institution without going to
the expense of sending students there.

important to have our ot0n young men

Our OWL opinion is that the opportunities
of afcording our young men employment
are so limited that it would be poor policy
to bring others here when we can find
qualified natives or can qualify them at q

proposal to grant S15O a year to the Build.

This item net with solid opposition from
the planting members. Member Raphael
~StrenuOusly mai ntained that snch tech

was o reflection on the planters to propose

island which had stood the test of time,
although built without technical assist.

Bridge, which had induced the Govern

which from its nature woull probably have
happened even if the bridge had been
built by an engineer. The planters pre-.

SLOW PROGRESS OF THE RECOUNT,
Irwin Gains One Vote, and Wagner Receivers
the Three Lost on Thursday.

Very slow progress was made yesterday in
the work of recounting the ballots in the Irwin
and Wagner quo warranto proceedings. It was
after 9 o'clock when the recount was resumed
yesterday morning, and it dragged along
YEARLY until shortly after 2 o'clock, when an
adjournment was taken until this morning
The counter attractions at the new State
house draw away all the politicians, and there
are but few spectators of the proceedings
"Goose' Eden is about the only man not di-
rectly interested in the recount who keeps a
close watch on every movement.
The first incident Of note yesterday morning
was when one ballot was found on
which Ayers had been voted for as Supe-
rior judge. and this made a gain of one
for Irwin. It was also found that the Pro-
hibition vote had been given to Wagner, Ayers
and Morrison. One ticket was found on which
every name had been scratched save that of Rol-
Inns. In the second precinct of the Third ward
there gain of one for Wagner, and, in the
same precinct, Irwin made q gain of two. These
were the only losses and gains, and the counting
ended with the Fourth ward, in which there
were no changes. AS the vote now stands. Irwin
has made gain of one, and Wagner and Nor
rison stand as they did at the beginning. The
recount will be resumed this morning. At the
present rate, it will take the whole of next week
to finish the work.

CLAIMANTS OF A CHILD.
GrandHiother's Reason for Refusing to
Surrender Possession of Little Girl.

At o'clock last evening dozen women and
as many men, preceded by an old lady carrying
a bright-eyed little girl of four years, filed into
Superior Court room No. g where besides the
judge and the court officers, sat young man
and his wife, who had come to ask the court to
grant writ of habeas corpus to secure posses
sion of the brght-eyed child. The young man
was its father, and the old lady who chung so
closely to the child was his former mother-in-
law, and grandmother to the little one. The
woman beside him was his second Spouse whom
he had married soon after the death of his
first wife. The grandmother says that her
daughter, on her dying bed, requested
her to keen the child, and further
more asserted that Theo. W. Weese, the
plaintiff is not the father of the child, it having
been of illegitimate birth. Weese claims that
Mrs Sarah NJ. Hatten, his mother-in-law, has
mistreated the child in many WAYS and only
seeks to retain possession Of it because she does
| not like his present wife. The testimony was
| of very interesting character, and there was
| quite scene when Wceses new wife was calleS
to the stand. She said she couldn't get up there
and talk. She broke down crying, and her testi
| mony was passed over. The case will be con.
| tinued this morning
